Comments on: Should We Remove the Timestamp? http://www.dailyblogtips.com/should-we-remove-the-timestamp/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 07:21:17 +0000 hourly 1 By: crisn http://www.dailyblogtips.com/should-we-remove-the-timestamp/#comment-1289836 crisn Tue, 08 Mar 2011 12:36:22 +0000 http://www.dailyblogtips.com/should-we-remove-the-timestamp/#comment-1289836 Nice. This is an old article but I'm very glad to have read it now (2011). I was discussing with my Twitter friends about the environment and I suddenly remember that I have blogs about the topic but were posted a year ago. So I begin to wonder if I can actually remove the dates to make it appear still relevant. I have been using Wordpress and haven't explored if this is possible. I will also check if it can be done only on selected blogs. Anyway, thanks for this timely article (pun intended). Nice. This is an old article but I’m very glad to have read it now (2011).

Date however create a sense of freshness, for serious blogger, date also create a sense of urgency. If the content applicable for all time then there in no point to put the date stamp.

Furst Tue, 27 Nov 2007 02:20:58 +0000 http://www.dailyblogtips.com/should-we-remove-the-timestamp/#comment-208255 I have chosen to show year and month in the URI of my blog posts and the complete date in the posts. Mainly, because it helps to understand the writer's point of view better. Even timeless topics will be written differently about in different ages. Publication date is an important criterion, whether a post or an article is useful for me or not. I strongly dislike info, that is not dated at all. Year of publication in the footer is the bare minimum, but still not good enough for fast moving topics. "Old" does not mean "bad", but it seems like "aged (dated)" material has indeed less potential for getting links and traffic. Is this because of social factors or due to the inherent structure of blogs that tend to expose recent posts more?

“Old” does not mean “bad”, but it seems like “aged (dated)” material has indeed less potential for getting links and traffic. Is this because of social factors or due to the inherent structure of blogs that tend to expose recent posts more?
